"The American Conservative Union just came out" with their latest
congressional scorecard and what do you know, retiring Sen. Olympia
Snowe (R-Maine) has "the lowest lifetime conservative record [48.59, just left of center]
of any Republican. In Diane Sawyer's book, that makes her the
principled voice of reason," NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told
Sean Hannity on the March 1 "Media Mash" segment of Hannity.

The liberal media, of course, have been using the left-leaning
senator's departure from the Senate as a club to rebuke the Republican
Party as in danger of losing its appeal to moderates and becoming a
far-right political party with limited appeal. Also discussed on the
popular media bias segment was how the media are skewing their coverage
of Rick Santorum to present him as obsessed with social issues and
bordering on foisting a "Christian" brand of "Sharia law."
